Yes, you can!
samba is the package which enables this. See then read the documentation at .
Please note that there are significant security implications to running this server, and the smb.conf(5) manual page should be regarded as mandatory reading before proceeding with installation.
You will also need to determine if you must have a static IP address to enable access from outside your local network, or how to connect without one if not. Since your questions should be reasonably scoped, that question is outside the scope of this question, and must be resolved separately.
Determine if you need your Ubuntu machine which will be the samba server to also be a Domain Controller, then install with
Not a Domain Controller
sudo apt-get install acl attr samba samba-dsdb-modules samba-vfs-modules winbind krb5-config krb5-userAlso a Domain Controller
sudo apt-get install acl attr samba samba-dsdb-modules samba-vfs-modules winbind libpam-winbind libnss-winbind libpam-krb5 krb5-config krb5-user dnsutilsMore in general
